The Advanced Tab has an enormous amount of power. The good news is that for most users, you will never have any reason to adjust any advanced settings.
Phone Configuration Password - If you bought your phones from ring-u, the phone's factory password will appear in the password box and also to the right of it. Please do not use a custom password. Systems work best and are most reliable when allowed to use their default passwords. Some phones do not require passwords. If they do not, please don't give them one.
Disable Auto Config - If this box is checked, this phone extension will not auto-configure. This should really never be checked unless you have been in discussion with ring-u support.
Manage Keys - If checked, you can manage BLF keys from the Info tab. If unchecked, keys must be managed at each phone individually, and those changes may be over-written by subsequent Configurations.
Intercom Mode - If enabled, dialing the extension + 100 (so ext 102 becomes 202, ext 121 becomes 221) from another extension. The far end will hear a short announcement beep, and you should have full 2 way audio. This only works for internal calls, external callers can not dial an intercom extension. - This is a useful feature for a breakroom phone, or an area where folks are not at a desk/station consistently, but not in a big enough space to warrant a PA system.
Phone Location/Transport - Set to
Internal Local Network by default, as most phones will be on the same local network as your Hello Hub. For most remote phones, you would select
External Network via Port Forwarding, and make the changes listed on our
Port Forwarding / External Remote Phones page. The other two options listed are rare and should only be used if you have been told by ring-u support to use one of them.
Caller ID - You can choose the default caller ID for this phone for outgoing calls.
e911 Caller ID - Please use default unless you have verified special settings. Call 933 to verify # and e911 address. Do not call 911 unless you have an actual emergency.
Internal Call Ring Tone - Ring tone for internal calls, the actual tone varies per model/firmware. May require a phone reboot after config to change.
Operator Extension - Dialing 0 or 00 calls this extension. Some phones need 2 digits to dial. There can be only 1 Operator.
Fax Extension - Configures for T.38 Fax Support for Grandstream HT802 units, and enables receiving faxes. There can be only 1.
Hospitality - Enable Hospitality Mode (Hotel/Motel/B&B)/guest phone mode.
User Login Password - If this extension's user needs User Portal Login Access, set the password here. Allows user level
Login for Fax and SMS interfaces. 8+ characters to save.
“clear” will remove. Login using account #, extension #, and this password from the user login tab.
